Large Wood Harvest Staging - Anthony Creek Uplift

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is soliciting a contractor for the harvest and staging of woody materials to support the Anthony Creek uplift project within the Elkhorn Wildlife Area. The primary objective is to restore approximately 1.5 miles of the Anthony Creek floodplain by creating instream structures and reactivating historic channel scrolls. The scope of work requires the contractor to harvest, sort, transport, and stage materials across six different work areas. Key deliverables include the processing of 1,850 cubic yards of conifer slash, which may be sourced from the Pilcher Creek timber sale or by cutting 0-6 inch DBH conifers within the wildlife area. All field work must be completed by June 30, 2027. This project is funded by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and is subject to federal terms and conditions, including compliance with the Clean Air Act and specific labor standards for contracts exceeding 100,000 dollars. The contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, with a 10 percent price preference applied to Oregon residents and a 10 percent score increase for Oregon Small Business Enterprises. Bidders must submit their proposals via OregonBuys by November 16, 2026, and provide comprehensive documentation including a bid cover sheet, reference checks, and proof of insurance. Administration is managed by Project Manager Dan Marvin and Contract Officer Marcus Jones, with invoicing handled through the ODFW Accounts Payable office in Salem.
